Our bedroom is in the northwest of our flat. The walls are light pastel, the position of the bed enables my husband to sleep with his head pointing east (his tien yi direction) and the shade for the pendant light is rounded and directs light up rather than down over the bed. The bed is not under a window nor is the door directly opposite the foot. There is room to walk around reasonably comfortably.
My husband suffers from occasional insomnia which is quite severe when it does occur. Are there any other enhancements I can add to the room? Do I have to get rid of our Edward Hopper picture, which is an interior but shows the sea?
I'd be really grateful for any advice on this, as I am coming to my wit's end!
Thanks,
Robin

Dear Robin,
The information provided is too general, it is difficult to say what is causing the problem.
Under Feng Shui, usually it can be analysed using a combination of:
1. Shapes and Form with regards to Yin and Yang concept.
2. Using the Flying Star theory to find out if the room is too Yin or has Yin factors.
Usually, under the Flying Star, it would have to go at least further into the Flying Star of the day or time. The situation would arise if in the day/time at the specific sector has a relatively high concentration of Yin factors. But for a layman, it would be difficult to track all these.
There are also other factors such as `Sleeping problems'.
2. In a recent experiment conducted in Japan, they conducted studies of `old but healthy people' and there was this near to `centurion' ie 90 years old lady, and found that she had a proper sleeping/working cycle. As compared to some people who may have occasional sleep problems.
3. Another method is also to cross-check whether the lunar cycle has any effect on your husband. For example full moon periods where it is considered more Yang. (This is not based on FS but generally, an understanding only).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
